Remember how I burnt a man's house down and stole his hospital for raping me. Remember Dr Peter at my hospital, remember how I said he reminded me of my rapist, Mr Healie. What are the chances that he is also Zo's dad?
Val visibly tensed up. The atmosphere suddenly changed, but I'm not sure what it is. I put my hand on her back and rubbed circles. She looked up at me, with an unrecognizable expression.
"Val are you okay?"
"Your dad is Jonathan Healie as in, ex-private hospital owner, Jonathan Healie?" she asked,
"Yes..'' I was starting to get worried. Was he a friend of hers? Why is she acting so strange?
"I am so sorry" was all she said, right before she started to cry. I pulled her into my chest as she bawled her eyes out. This date took a turn.
"Val, what are you sorry for?" It really broke my heart to see her like this.
"Zo. There was this one time, I had a private meeting with a man. He was giving me free advice, about business, well the advice wasn't actually free" another tear fell, but I quickly wiped it away.
"He raped me." she took another pause before she proceeded. I am pissed right now. I can't imagine, why someone, anyone would want to hurt Valerie, that fucking sicko.
"I went to the police, but nothing came of it and I got mad. As you may know, I have many illegal connections," yeah, like Gio, that man is dangerous.
"I told my connections about my situation and they took matters into their own hands" I waited for her to continue.
"They burned his house down and gave me his hospital.'' I am connecting the dots in my head.
"His name was Jonathan Healie." that's why her hospital looked familiar. To be honest, he deserved that. For everything has done, he deserved that and more.
I pulled her into a tight hug. This might sound horrible, but, I am glad, he is dead and I hope he rots in hell for eternity.
Why is he hugging me, he should be mad at me.
"You're not mad at me?" He loosened his grip on me, then he pushed me away, still holding onto my shoulders and gave me a puzzled look.
"Why would I be mad?"
"Because I burned Jonathan's house down." he still looked confused,"If I didn't burn his house down, he wouldn't have harassed you and you wouldn't have killed him, then you wouldn't have gone to prison" I explained. Lorenzo looked at me and laughed. Like full-blown laughter. This shit is not funny.
"Val. If I didn't kill him, he'd still be here, probably terrorizing people. If I didn't go to prison, I probably wouldn't have met you. He was a menace to society." he makes a good point.
"Val, it is not your fault, he was just a bad person." he pulled into another bone-crushing hug and I hugged him back. I don't feel so bad anymore.

We're back in the car on our way back to the hotel. His hand was on my thigh as he drove. We just had a therapy session and this man trying to get freaky. In all seriousness, I had fun. Although we had to share traumatic experiences and the bad things we did, I got to know him better, which was the objective of the date.
